Microsoft currently has 83 large and specialty retail stores open in the U.S and Canada and has announced plans to open four more locations in the near future. However, a quick look at the company's career page shows that it is hiring for store managers in a number of previously unannounced locations, including some states in the U.S. that have never had a Microsoft Store.

Microsoft still has not announced any concrete plans to open stores outside of North America. In 2013, the company did reveal general plans to open a series of stores in China but since then there has been no updates on those preparations.
